Jim Grange @jimgrange.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Can I ask a possibly silly Bayesian design question? If using a t-test Bayes factor as a sequential stopping rule, is it defensible to use asymmetric thresholds (say, BF₁₀ > 10 but BF₀₁ > 5)? This would require strong evidence for a novel effect but moderate evidence to stop pursuing it. 100
